Channel Tunnel

Lord Tomlinson Excerpts

Thursday 22nd January 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Popat]

I agree with the noble Lord. We should support a strong ferry service across the channel.

[Lord Tomlinson (Lab)]

On at least two occasions, the Minister has pointed in the direction of France. In the absence of the noble Lord, Lord Pearson of Rannoch, may I ask him to confirm that there was no culpability on behalf of the European Union?

[Lord Popat]

This is a matter for the French and the British.
